Christen had a career game at Cluj-Napoca
ratiopharm Ulm forward enjoyed himself on Wednesday as he led his team to a come-from-behind 81-84 victory at U-BT Cluj-Napoca. The 31-year-old set career-highs with 26 points and a PIR of 28 and set a club record by making 10 shots without a miss.
Christen became the 10th person in EuroCup history to make 10 shots in a game without a miss and only three have ever made more: Robertas Javtokas (12), Torin Francis (11) and Primoz Brezec (11). None of them made 5 threes.
Asked about his shooting after the game, Christen replied: "If you make Dirk fadeaways, then it’s one of those nights," referring to a one-legged fadeaway jumper he made in the second half a la his countryman and retired NBA great Dirk Nowitzki. "I just enjoyed playing today and I’m really happy that we came out with the victory."
Christen’s shooting was very much needed considering that Cluj had a historic shooting game of its own. The hosts made 27 of 31 two-pointers and that 87.1% was the second-best two-point shooting effort in competition history. The record is held by Valencia Basket, which shot 21 for 24 (87.5%) in a 101-83 victory over Turk Telekom Anakara during the 2018-19 season.
